Even leaving the default settings they'd reset themselves

? No ssh, I'm sitting in front of the monitor

[celest halo]

biggest issue with command line is people dont know how to use quotes in it

[dense wind]

... I wasn't in ssh.

I used console to run the binary

This would happen from fresh boots

I get that, at the end I rebooted

Look at the end of last chat, my god

💜

I rebooted, logged into game on separate computer.

Did the doexit for graceful shutdown (NO CTRL + C)

it still reset my config

I just don't get why your mentioning ssh, it's not on a VPS.

I have the computer in front of me running KDE

It resets on server start, you can watch the timestamps change

From a cold boot

And I said that's not what I was doing last time but alright sour guy

✌️

Just baffled I get told couple days ago to run on windows cuz I can't get my config to not reset itself, then tonight get told to run on Linux cuz yeah, that's the smart thing to do, then get told to not run a VM (which I wasn't originally), then get told I'm shutting the server down wrong (through console, ssh, whatever Ctrl+c), when I had down it properly from a cold boot and doexit from in game, then just gives up.

I fixed the VM performance, all I simply originally asked was if it used the GPU and got help. Then I started thinking out loud about what my issue was.

Next time I'll keep quiet isn't of talking in circles with everyone stepping on people's toes.

✌️💜

Like I get you need to rcon shutdown settings if that's what you mean by ssh

But my issue was starting the server fresh, from a cold boot (no lingering ghost processes), was resetting config and still is...

I appreciate all the help folks 💜

[raven wigeon]

erm, after the last update the server arent booting!!!!

any1 else?? having Error querrying server mods

[thorn dock]

Hey could any one tell me why the black Id colour isn’t very blacks it’s more gray than anything I just want to get a black wyvern

[unique magnet]

imo if you want to go for a full black wyv, it's better to use ID 79 ActualBlack then ID 224 Black

[thorn dock]

Just looks really gray 79 and 224

[unique magnet]

sadly I think 79 is as close we can get to black on dinos

[thorn dock]

Ok tyvm

[rocky kraken]

Hey fellow survivors! I'm running a cluster with 9 maps on two dedicated hosts. One of them works fine but the other one wont let me start my servers due to **CFCore running into "Error querying server mods: ApiError: Failed (serverUnreachable)". ** Has anyone else had this issue before? 🙂

Many people were having this issue yesterday

[bold mason]

can this get pinned lol

also anyone know how to set the server to put world saves into individual files like ASE did? having to go back to a 2hour old map save blows ass when the world saves are 15minutes.

[barren blade]

Hi I am trying to make a dedicated server for Ark Survival Evolved and everything has worked up untill actually joining the server. I have used Hamachi as an ip so i don't have to port forward and I have added it to my favourites on my steam games server list and it won't let me join. It gives me this error: Unable to query server info for invite. I have used the ark dedicated server helper tool but can someone help me fix this

[celest halo]

NO

[dense wind]

OH YOU'RE GONNA GET WIPED

Mine has been kicking myself and others of with error messages

[jaunty vortex]

You could look at the power shell script that is pinned. It will backup your saves into zip files. If you call it from windows task scheduler you can do it as often as you want.

[haughty ether]

This is still happening to us. Hope it gets fixed soon it’s frustrating

[half tangle]

i ihave build new machine yeterday and when im trying to start ARK asa server that won work i have wast some time in after 2 hr i have update my server on my old machine and after that the Ark ASa server never start if i just me or that are for everyall do you have try to update your serv before update all work perfectly

[edgy phoenix]

The mod you mentioned doesn't seem to have that setting.

Does anyone know a mod or a way that I can add 6x damage to rat holes on my cluster?

[half tangle]

Hello, no one has been able to clarify my situation based on my last 3 messages. What is going on? Since ASA came out, I’ve never had any problems before.

But before pretending to be someone who knows everything and telling me nonsense, update your server immediately if you have mods and try restarting it to see what happens

[worthy finch]

Anyone know why I can't access my character anymore after shutting the game down when it was stuck on "Searching for sessions" while trying to transfer on my cluster?

Tried reverting the save to an earlier one when I know I'm in base, and even saw myself in my tek bed on my PC character, but it still wants me to make a new character

I asked in the new rubbish help bit in Nitrado's Discord but they deleted it because I said a naughty word and can't ask again for 15 minutes

[gritty sphinx]

Anyone else having issues with initial cosmetic loading when joining your unofficial server? There's always a 1–2 minute delay. It doesn't happen on other unofficial servers I randomly join—only on the one I usually play on.

anyone having issues with DC in sanctuary and getting hard locked there?

my players get kicked then they can't log back in until i restart the server, then if they move around some they get kicked again restarting the cycle.

I teleported to my player and i got booted instantly with the same thing.

[bold mason]

So i pulled the map to single player and i can load in fine and no issues in that area, must be a server glitch?

[bold mason]

Something with a rhyniognatha was causing the dc, was able to cryo it and no more dc issues.

Nope, still got dc'd after a bit.

[spare oyster]

alright im done looking at it why do some dinos, and stuff like turrets look like they come from the ps1, idk how to fix it, i run ark on all epic, i changed my engine.ini but i cant fix it. can anyone help

[hollow iron]

nothing, they are for client side use only

[near hawk]

i'm hosting a 5 cluster server in ASA, all are up to date, all mods are the same and up to date, but i'm having an issue in my island. cat and deinotherium don't spawn, these two spawn just fine on center. i had the deinotherium mod on all of them before it can to base game and removed it after it became base game. anyone else facing this issue? also can't learn the saddle engram for the elephant

[hollow iron]

have a look at the ark server config wiki, all settings you need to know about are in there!

[gentle niche]

Right, and what do they do?

[hollow iron]

have a look at the wiki everything you need to know for every setting is there!

[gentle niche]

Not for these settings

[hollow iron]

ight, well Frame Generation is DLSS4(nvidia), FSR Quality is FidelityFX (AMD), DLSS Quality is the presets for the diffrent DLSS Modes (performance, quality ect.) and Reflex is for improving latency (sending from CPU to GPU for processing)

all client side options and do not effect the server.

[hollow iron]

likely unsupported mods (meaning they have not been updated by the author)

[half tangle]

since this update never mod work on my serv

[hollow iron]

If you do not wish to remove the mod, you just need to hope the author sends out an update. if not take a backup of your save and remove the mod(s), then add them back in one by one too find which one is the culprit (in the shoortergame logs it should tell you what mod is invalid anyway)

[maiden escarp]

How come i cant join my friends unofficial server? he can join just fine and i can join anybody elses server but just his doesnt work for some reason...... it prompts me to refresh his server before i type in a password, and when i do put in the password it always says connection timeout, regardless of it being the right password or not

[hollow iron]

he needs to port forward and make sure the local firewall rules are setup correctly

[maiden escarp]

thats what the answer was online, but how is that done?

[hollow iron]

is he hosting this on his own machine, or using a VPS Service?

[maiden escarp]

he has his own seperate computer running the server

[hollow iron]

right, so he needs to port-forward the Game Port on his router. he can find out how to access this by typing in command prompt - ipconfig after he has typed that he should see Default Gateway and then an IP. He will need to input this IP into a browser to access the admin panel for the router, from there he needs to find (port forwarding or port sharing).

[open charm]

can someone ping me when this persons problems are fixed? i have a problem too but it isn't really important and i don't think anyone would be able to help anyway

[hollow iron]

After he gets to that section he will need to input some values, 1st a Name (this can be called anything) then you will need to input the IP of the machine that is hosting the server, then after that you will see internal/external this port needs to be set to the GamePort he has choosen to run the server on, oh and lastly there is the protocol this needs to be set to UDP

[hollow iron]

sup?

[open charm]

theres a mod for ase i saw in a clip but i dont know the name of it and all i have to go off of is that it adds achievements that give stuff
again i don't think anyone could help with it but it's worth a shot

[maiden escarp]

thank you! he is trying this now

[hollow iron]

this is likely using the ArkServerAPI it extends the server functionality of both ASA/ASE to make shops, levels, quests, achievements and more! I would send a link but i dont think that is allowed here.

[open charm]

ah, that makes sense
it did have a server watermark in the corner

there wouldn't be a way to run those in singleplayer, would there?

[hollow iron]

im afraid not no. you would need to setup a Dedicated server to use it. (though there could be a mod for it. give me 2 mins ill see if i can find on)

[open charm]

thank you so much!!! i had NO information and you're still incredibly helpful anyway

[hollow iron]

ASE right?

[open charm]

yeah

[hollow iron]

okay you should actually be able to see it if its a mod, on steam head to Workshop->ArkSurvival Evolved-> and then in the tab at the top. browse->Subscribed Items (if its a mod it will be in your subscribed)

[open charm]

no you misunderstood i think
i saw this in a clip, i haven't joined the server it's from
i do know the name of the server though, but i don't know if that would be advertising or something stupid

[hollow iron]

was it green text at the top? similar to the level up text?

[open charm]

yes it was!

[hollow iron]

ah yeah thats a plugin for ArkServerAPI

[open charm]

well it was more similar to when a tame dies or gets a kill now that i think of it

but it WAS at the top of ths screen

[grim grail]

Does anyone know to get the dlc verison of Astraeos to work on a server

[hollow iron]

yup, its just the Mod ID - 988598 and the Map Name - Astraeos_WP

[half tangle]

but in the log its juste write crash failed to load mod its dont say wich

[hollow iron]

2 seconds ill let you know what one you need to open, its not the one you are thinking

[half tangle]

thx

[maiden escarp]

so we did the ipconfig thing on both of our computers to see if it would work but the combination of numbers and letters after it doesnt look like an ip address to me.... the line looks like this "fe80::82da:_____" (the underscores arent part of it i just didnt want that info out there)

[hollow iron]

\ShooterGame\Saved\Logs\ShooterGame.txt

[grim grail]

But that doesnt have any of the updates like the second boss or meaguana. Am I missing something?

[hollow iron]

okay thats a IPv6 adress, directly under it there should be one thats more like this 127.0.0.1 <- just an example

[hollow iron]

hmmm, not sure let me quickly double check

[maiden escarp]

Oh! lmao, thank you..... we are trying again

[half tangle]

shootergame.txt dont exist its .log and show no mod

[hollow iron]

ASA or ASE?

though i believe its the same place for both 🤷‍♂️

[maiden escarp]

okay so he put in his ip address into a browser and it brought us to the website prompting us to log in to the provider.... is that what we have to do or are we missing a step again?

[grim grail]

Because I only have the main island. I cannot go to the lightning island to do osds and dont have the meaguana spawning

[half tangle]

ASA

but my soluce for now its remove all mod and the server start

[hollow iron]

this is correct

[maiden escarp]

thats what we figured... we're still trying

[hollow iron]

Hmm, apparently you do not need the Mod ID. not sure how true this is.

(this might be why its loading the mod version not the new version)

[hollow iron]

yeah give that a go and let me know how it goes

[open charm]

did you find it?

[hollow iron]

i think its called Advanced Achievements (can be found on GameServersHub)

[gentle niche]

Do you happen to know what the numbers mean? eg 1 or -1

[hollow iron]

not sure, give it a search on google. should not be hard to find. (but its like i said these settings do not matter on the server as they are client side options)

[gentle niche]

i have tried thats why im asking here, i'm aware its only client side

no one in gen answered just thought someone here could help

[hollow iron]

would be better suited for #bobs-with-probs

[grim grail]

i tried that but without it it gets stuck in the ticking loop when booting up

[olive crest]

I am so confused what setting I need to turn down because I got a level 200 pterodactyl that took down a lvl 150 therizino in 2 hits and I was pretty sure that’s not right so how do I turn it down

[celest halo]

change in-game display settings for them then open GUS and see what number it set for the option you set

[stone igloo]

Anyone else having trouble with mods not loading when the server starts?

[open charm]

im having a similar config issue to this person
like the melee damage increases by like 200% per level on most tames like what is going on

[jagged garnet]

aAnyone else have console players on thier servers reporting the "press ___ to show more" option for dinos showing different console (xbox for PS players) buttons? Ive got players on my server who cant see what imprints want since this update.

[vital wagon]

I just want to let the community know that CitadelServers is not worth a minute of your time: When clustering my server, they absolutely wiped all the data (character/tames/builds) clean. When I provided them a backup file, they were not able to restore it. I was able to restore it in Gportal by manually repairing the file (they made changes to monetize things like Server name, such as paying $10 to remove their advertisement...)

When confronted for their mistake, they refused to refund me for that first month. Terrible service, terrible setup, terrible experience.

[arctic sage]

you probably changed something in this settings, https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#PerLevelStatsMultiplier

[mystic slate]

hey guys! so basically i have an xbox series x that i play ark on and i have a laptop with only 128gb of storage any chance i can run the dedicated server on my laptop? ( i also have a mac but ark isnt available there and a ps4 but again crossplay)

[gentle niche]

Trying to add a new map (Aberration) to my cluster (started on the island then added scorched) i've done the same thing i did when adding SE, changed the name to Aberration_WP, made sure it has a unique port and it just gets stuck at number of cores on the console (steamcmd) ticking loop

bats for island and scorched, both working fine

start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="xxxx"?ServerPassword=xxxx?ServerAdminPassword="xxxx" -winlivemaxplayers=25 -Port=7777 -ForceAllowCaveFlyers -NoBattleEye -Mods=941145,931874,928708,935408,930391,930494,931266,929785,933447,933731,939228,937184,966079,930404 -clusterid="xxxx"

start ArkAscendedServer.exe ScorchedEarth_WP?SessionName="xxxx"?ServerPassword=xxxx?ServerAdminPassword="xxxx" -winlivemaxplayers=25 -Port=7779 -ForceAllowCaveFlyers -NoBattleEye -Mods=941145,931874,928708,935408,930391,930494,931266,929785,933447,933731,939228,937184,966079,930404 -clusterid="xxxx"

Tried this for Aberration:

[lucid solstice]

What are the other specs of the laptop. Specifically ram and cpu

[hot citrus]

Why is ark descended not working on Xbox everytime it crashes when I try load up and send me to the home screen of my Xbox

[rocky kraken]

The startup string looks good. Are you running them from the same install or do they have different directories?
A update/verify might help.
Otherwise take a look at you game & gus.ini. If you just copied them there might be a conflict with the specified game/rcon port and or the session name.

[gentle niche]

All from the same install so same configs etc, i'll try the update and verify

[gentle niche]

Just dd the update/ validate and it worked, thank you 🙂

[stone igloo]

After the 64.11 update, my unofficial server cluster stopped starting up. It was giving "Error querying server mods: ApiError: Failed (serverUnreachable)". I thought it was a curseforge problem but it seemed like not everyone was having this issue.

I found a post on reddit with this exact error and they said the fix was to install "Amazon Root CA 1" certificate on my system. I tried it and it worked. I'm very confused. Is this legit?

[celest halo]

Yes updating root CAs on a system is legit and something that need to be done every now and then as ssl certs do expire

[stone igloo]

The cert I installed said it was good from 2015 until 2039. It's not like it expired over the weekend. How could this have changed for me but no one else?

[celest halo]

Alot of people on windows servers been having that issue since last week

Windows server probably didn't have that one just like it normally don't have the Amazon TSA 2048 M02, and CF could of changed what CA is signing there cert

[stone igloo]

I'm not running on Windows Server. Running on Windows 10.

[celest halo]

Windows update should of taken care of it then, but sometimes that messes up

CF API cert was issued on 4/10 using Amazon RSA 2048 M3 as the root CA

[stone igloo]

where did you look that up?

[celest halo]

Went to the API and pulled the cert file

CF is kind of messed up the API uses an Amazon one, but the normal CF website uses a Google root ca 😂

[stone igloo]

sounds like different teams within CF using their own ways of doing things.

[celest halo]

More like a way to waste money 😂

[stone igloo]

probably but it's not uncommon for companies to do that.

[celest halo]

They both a wildcard cert for the curse forge . com domain so really wasting money, I could see doing it maybe if the one was for just api. At there domain

[stone igloo]

Yeah, I don't pretend to understand why certain things happen in business/IT. Thanks for your help!

[open charm]

oh, thank you
i had no idea the default wasn't 1

[tight sedge]

Anybody use use the helicoprion mod but can’t make the Ratfish treats to tame it??

[austere rune]

Are there any known mod conflicts for ASA that can cause players to be unable to place modded placeable objects like crafting stations? Or placing some building pieces spawns the wrong piece into the world?

[worthy finch]

Has there been any mention of people not being able to access their characters?

[hollow prism]

I just created a nitrado server for the first time but when I try to join it says lost connection/timeout to host. What do I do?

[lament bear]

How do you make it where you can stack mutton

[fierce timber]

This is what I use in both my SP + Nitrado server's Game.ini. You can tweak the values however you might want. Can also do the same for Prime/other meats by using their tags as well in place of RawMutton one here.

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=9999,bIgnoreMultiplier=True))

[molten palm]

It could be a bad mod install or smth wrong in the GUS.INI ... perhaps.

[still thunder]

sounds like at least one mod is corrupted

reinstall all mods and you should be fine

[gentle niche]

does anyone know about engine.ini headers/ config? Specifically trying to get these on automatically so i dont have to input every time

r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.Temporal.DistanceThreshold=0.05
r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.DownsampleFactor=16
r.VolumetricCloud=0

I've tried under the header [SystemSettings] but nothing =/

do i need the "r." part?

[pure haven]

if you trying to do that on a server it wont work. it will only work for if you edit your client ini

[gentle niche]

oohhhhh ok thank you 🙂

[rich kiln]

Right now I have a server with the Extinction map. Now we kind of beat the extinction map and want to play on the island but still want to have the possibility to play on extinction. So is it possible to convert or add the existing server/map to a new cluster and add the island map to it and still keep stats and levels? If so, please explain in detail and also explain how many ports I have to forward extra in order to do it. Thanks in advance.

[arctic mica]

So you want to host the island and extinction at the same time and be able to transfer between them? if so that's very possible, you can reuse the query port so you'll just need to forward an additional two ports, your server port and your server port +1. You'll want to launch both servers with the same -clusterId, this can be anything you want. I'm making assumptions about your setup but if you're self hosting and start your server up with a bat file, it's as simple as creating a new bat file with a different command.

[arctic sage]

self host? or nitrado?

[rich kiln]

Self hosted.

[arctic sage]

then what sausage said
you use clusterid to link them

[rich kiln]

do I have to make a new folder and name it as the clusterid? If so, do I also have to manually transfer save files and tribute files to that folder ?

[arctic mica]

no you shouldn't have to do any of that the launch parameter takes care of the "clustering" for you, if you really want to you can use -clusterdiroverride to change where the cluster directory is which I believe just holds transfer data

[rich kiln]

Is "-clusterdiroverride" necessary? I have also seen "?AltSaveDirectoryName=<dir>", does that have any difference and does it make new save files or does it automatically transfer do I have to do that? Or how does that work?

Do I also have to install a new copy of the server files or can I run a second map/server on the same files?

[arctic mica]

nah it's not necessary, ?AltSaveDirectoryName is also not necessary, that one is just for if you want to get more complicated and have serveral versions of the island for example. You can run both servers on the same files, that's what i do

for transfers all you need to do is ensure the -clusterId is the same on both servers

[rich kiln]

So there will be 2 servers but in the same install. So e.g. there will be "server/ShooterGame/Saved/SavedArks/Extinction_WP" AND "server/ShooterGame/Saved/SavedArks/TheIsland_WP". And they will all be linked through the clusterid?

[arctic mica]

yep

[rich kiln]

So why would there be a "server/ShooterGame/Saved/clusters" folder? What does that store?

[arctic mica]

that stores transfer data so items that are uploaded to the obelisk for example

[rich kiln]

How do I make a second server with a different map. Do I just start the server bat file with a different map argument?

[arctic mica]

yeah exactly

[rich kiln]

ok, thx for the help

[lone fern]

Is there a way to enable picking players both friendly and for aswell as tames? I’ve been able to pick up my friends dilo’s but I’ve never been able to pick him off his trike when we were fighting and I can’t seemingly pick up my own Anky or dodec. And I’ve looked through the settings on Nitrado I’m not seeing anything. It is a PvP server.

(This is ASE aswell if that means anything)

[rich kiln]

Picking something up is NOT something in vanilla ark. I use Dino Pick-up mod from curseforge to pick up my dino's. I don't know anything about picking up players. I also can't help you install it as I host my server on my own pc and not nitrado.

[lone fern]

Damn it’s not the end of the world. Just I would’ve finished the fight a lot earlier if I could’ve picked him. And I just wanna make resource runs easier. Upon another inspection I’m seeing “allowflyercarryPvE”

But I don’t know if that is gonna work since it’s PVE?

[rich kiln]

Does the nitrado file menu also have a start file which starts the server? If it even has a file menu.

[lone fern]

Uh I’m not really sure. I’m not versed in this stuff at all. This is my first time hosting a server and I’ve had to learn some basic stuff and change things on the fly.

[arctic mica]

so you know how in pvp you can pick up wild dinos with a flyer? that setting just enables that for pve

[lone fern]

Mm I figured but I wasn’t sure if it would be some weird thing which still allows it or something.

[toxic hazel]

Just to let you know, Query is not needed, Have been running without this since launch 😛

[arctic mica]

Wahhh i'm assuming it defaults? You need to forward it for it to show on the server browser don't you? 😅

[toxic hazel]

Nope

Totally not used in ASA unless you use it to connect to say a discord bot

[arctic mica]

Oh right lol

[toxic hazel]

It shows in the server list just from having the certs, tested this, not even opening ports matters for it to show

[fathom moon]

Do event mods on self-hosted only work during the dates the event is actually active? I have the easter event mod added to the server but haven't been able to find anything in the server to suggest it's working

[celest halo]

Last I checked CF it wasn't released yet

[last magnet]

yeah it's not available if you search the name. ID it showed up but as a placeholder. it should be released later today/tomorrow I imagine

[celest halo]

Prob won't be released till the 16th-17th, knowing WC they will release it right before enabling it on officials

[fathom moon]

Actually disregard -- I just saw a bunny oviraptor so it is inded working!

[pure haven]

Does anyone know any other mods besides ASR and Cyber Structures that have hitching post? for ASA

[fathom moon]

They listed it in the announcement post -- the mod ID is 877745

[celest halo]

Just because they gave an id for it don't mean it's updated and fully released on CF

[fathom moon]

@celest halo I found the bunny eared oviraptor after enabling it so either it's working or oviraptor just wear bunny ears now 🤷‍♂️

Nothing to do with CF -- I just added the mod id to my batch file and it worked

[lucid solstice]

Got an aberration server that won't start. I use the same commands as other servers which do work. It doesn't crash. It says it takes 2.76 seconds for full startup, while the other maps take much longer. Version is 64.11. Anyone have any idea why this might be?

There is no error in the logs

[cloud lichen]

The servers suks it's so hard to just play the game

[fathom moon]

What are the last entries in the log?

[lucid solstice]

I found the issue. It was a misconfigured bat file. I was missing a space. It's wierd that it still acted like it worked tho

[fierce timber]

• Event stuff lasts as long as the mod is enabled on the server.

• Did you do a dino-wipe after adding the mod?

If you didn't dino-wipe after adding, they will spawn, but only from new spawns and so it'll be a lot of regular creature colors until enough stuff dies and spawns in with the new stuff.

[fathom moon]

Ahhh that makes sense, thanks! I did not do a wipe but I will tomorrow

[terse tangle]

I need help with breeding mutations and stuff dm me if you can

Has anyone ever used CE commands via RCON to control the weather?
When I run the command in-game, the weather changes, but when I run it from a bat file, I get ‘Server received, But no response!’. and no response from the server. I would like to know if CE commands are supported via RCON.
By the way, other commands could be executed via RCON, so it doesn't seem like the network is the cause.

[sour breach]

Hello, i would need some help about hosting a dedicated server with a vpn so my friends can join i am clueless. I used ARK Server Manager to host it and it worked, but only for my real IP, so all LAN, not through the VPN, when i used the vpn i found it in steam game servers but when i connect it said connection lost, i used the open <IP>:7777 too and also connection lost, again, without the vpn it worked, i also tried different VPN's like Radmin and ZeroTier, if somebody could help me, please DM me

[peak onyx]

Why use a vpn at all? If you just wanna restrict people joining without having a password use a whitelist https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Player_Whitelisting

[sour breach]

Sorry, how do people join me then?

[peak onyx]

If you are running locally you could do port forwarding

Most routers support it

[sour breach]

i dont want to forward my ports

its not so secure

[sour breach]

Thats why i want to fix this, but i cant i dont understand the problem and how to fix it

I really need help

[carmine goblet]

Has anyone got the easter event to work? When I look at the mod in-game in the mods list it says it's been ban lol

[humble thicket]

anybody else having gene scanner issues?

[celest halo]

One person has said they got it working on a server, I would wait till it's on officials though then you know mod is up to date with everything they added

[jaunty vortex]

I don’t see it on curseforge yet.

[celest halo]

Yeah I can find info for it but it's marked as not released

And all the files for it have an uploaded to CF date from 2023 😂

[edgy phoenix]

Is there a simple way for me to reduce the weight of common items like stone metal crystal wood etc. A code that can be copied and pasted?

[celest halo]

There is no ini settings I know of to reduce weight of items, some mods can do it, there is ini settings to make how much weight you can carry higher

[edgy phoenix]

Thank you. Some people pointed me to beacon in the past, but I thought beacon was a case of copying and pasting into the ini? I tried to use it but I couldn't find the option

A lot of the mods add extra things that I don't want, but I may have to go with one of those.

[median fern]

do i need to alter any settings to ensure resources respawn on asa singleplayer?

[covert phoenix]

If you would like to enable Eggcellent Adventure on your private servers, please add the mod ID to your server command-line launch arguments (-mods=modID). No other changes should be necessary to activate the event.
Mod ID: 877745.

Does this mean -mods=877745 needs to be in the ini?
When I put the value alone in the active mod list, it either says it's invalid, or disappears when the page is refreshed, even when the changes were saved

The mod itself doesn't seem to be on curseforge like the others. Not sure whether that's by design or just something else that's released broken

[celest halo]

It's not officially released yet

[covert phoenix]

Ah well, that explains it. Weird though since they gave us the code and everything. Thanks!

[celest halo]

It's easy to have the code and still have it set as not released on CF

specially when mod was created in 2023

{
  "id": 877745,
  "title": "Eggcellent Adventure",
  "created_at": "2023-06-20T18:08:17.157Z"
}

[jaunty vortex]

wonder if it's been updated since then? 🤔

[celest halo]

some files have a 2023-8-13 date lol

dont see any with this year

[jaunty vortex]

it compiles, it runs, release it 😄

[last magnet]

It slightly works, and installed on my system (I added it via the mod id in my server manager software) and I have so many pieces of candy from the bunny dodos and oviraptors

But I can't craft any skins/chibis/collect those

[haughty osprey]

guys my friend is trying to load up a server in ark (no battleeye, anticheat) and he keeps crashing. What should he do?

[rose frigate]

is there a particular reason that my servers are suddenly refusing to download my mods?

[agile harbor]

for the easter event when the time comes do i put the code in the game.ini

[rose frigate]

anyone else having the same problem?

[rose frigate]

it's a mod, not a setting.

[agile harbor]

okay so where does it go on nitrado servers

[rose frigate]

all the events are mod based in ASA vs ASE was setting based.

no idea. nitrado is trash.

[wise kindle]

You simply stop your server and add it via Curseforge mods…
After its released, as its not out yet.

[agile harbor]

thankk you

i figured someone of use would come along. this one is always knowledgeable.

[dry tangle]

I’d like to know this as well. It’s our first time with an event on ASA so my group isn’t sure how it works

[thorny pulsar]

-ServerUseEventColors launch Line argument is required for the event?

[celest halo]

yes once they add the stuff so it also stays on officials

[lilac osprey]

So my server just straight up wont even update. It says restarting for a couple minutes, then shutsdown. It wont even grab the update.

[deep flower]

My servers are all updating okay.

[gloomy yew]

you have to wait for them to add it to the base game which is uaually a while because it seems like they always forget to do so

Moved from bottom of mod queue to 3rd, still nothing. Moved to first and it works now.
For those that are wondering, but the mod number first.

[glossy comet]

Hello everyone, I am starting to setup a personal server again and im using Arkasm.

Im just wondering if there is a guide line here I can follow as mine isnt showing up in the list,

TCP and UDP were automatically allowed through firewall and also UDP has been enabled through the modem aswell

Am I missing something I need to do

[hallow pumice]

there is a checkbox you gotta hit on the bottom right.. something like player server

[glossy comet]

I cant see that in the UI

[hallow pumice]

wait you ASA or ASE?

[glossy comet]

ASA

[hallow pumice]

then make sure you are not on the official tab, should be something like unofficial

[glossy comet]

yeah I already did that, I used to host ASE a while back

[hallow pumice]

did you check battlemetrics?

[glossy comet]

yeah I did

[hallow pumice]

was it there?

[glossy comet]

sorry I thought that was battleeye, ill check metrics right now

its not showing up

[hallow pumice]

another thing you can do, is use your console key, usually ` or tab ... then type open yourexternalip:port that should force the game to go to that server without the menu.. if that doesn't work, maybe you need to do like I did.. tcp/udp the listening port and rcon port in the modem

[glossy comet]

I just found it through battlemetrics just sayings its 1160kms away which its actually like 5 metres away

[hallow pumice]

well that is probably distance to the battlemetrics server 🙂

but if you see it there, then your configuration is probably right

but there is a little check box you have to hit in the bottom right, which will allow you to see player servers

that whole nitrado thing, we are player servers 🙂

[glossy comet]

checking that right now aswell

[glossy comet]

MATE YOU ARE A CHAMPION !!!!!!! THANKYOU VERY MUCH ❤️

Hi everyone, we have servers with wild dinos at level 300. We wanted to know if anyone knows how to double the level of the dinos you win in the Club Ark . Currently, the cap is 170, and this is causing issues within our community. If anyone knows the correct setting, could you please let us know? Thank you.

[mortal halo]

It happened after the current update

[celest halo]

Happens every time there is a major update, and first cause is normally server or client is not updated, server list only shows servers on same major version number as the client

Hey! What ini controls the gestation timer on server, or is it linked to egghatchspeed multiplier? Just have to change it for Rhynio so we have time to feed the cravings... 😅 Thanks if anyone knows!

[wise kindle]

It is yes.

[fluid mural]

thank you, is 100 still too much or are you able to feed all the cravings? we're used to playing on 400 so I have no clue what is balanced enough for rhynio.

Thats REALLY high, I think 30 is the highest that still allows for all the cravings.

[lone fern]

So I’ve just hatched a Wyvern on ASE on my own server and it wants care in like 8 hours. I know I have to change the dinocuddleinterval on Nitrado but is there a particular number that would be good to reduce the cuddle by? Would this affect the Wyvern I’ve just hatched? And I think I saw something online about maturation rates too, is that something I need to consider?

[devout coral]

Where do i find someone i can paly with

[wise kindle]

#1110949794907684965

[lone fern]

Looking into it a bit more, I’ve found someone saying that these settings allowed them full imprint for every Dino and such. Would this be good to just stick on my server?

EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=10.0
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=10.0
MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.1
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=1
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.40
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=5
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=0.1

All these different settings are difficult to understand and I just want these sorted so everyone on my server can breed, grow and imprint on their dinos in a more timely manner while still needing to put a lil work in.

Hey, I am failing to setup a local ARK SE cluster on a Ubuntu VM with docker.
I am using: image: drpsychick/arkserver:latest and I have 3 servers running, can transfer items between them, but when trying to transfer players I get no sessions found. I am connecting from another machine in local network, and plan to use a vpn to give to people, how can this not work? UFW is disabled, so no firewall issues

[fading kindle]

my server will no longer load with mods, i was running the Any Colour Sets [Crossplay] mod -mods=929506 and then added some astraeos mods, and now i get the error...

UserContextInfo not loaded from disk
UShooterEngine::LoadGameMods with 0 mods
error querying server mods: api error: failed (serverunreachable)```

can anyone help me with this? my server will now only launch if i remove `-mods=xxxxxx` entirely

[celest halo]

might be out dated certs #general message

[fading kindle]

thank you! will try.

whats amazon certs got to do with this though? do you know?

[wispy pecan]

club ark -> extinction items can be taken out
club ark -> club ark (after winnings, without taking out) items are gone

Is this intended behavior? I thought we could keep our rewards in our 'inventory'/tribute terminal?

[celest halo]

they a root trust CA, the CF api cert is signed by the amazon root cert

[fading kindle]

ahhhh now THAT makes sense!!

i did suspect a certificate between SteamAPI and CurseForge API

[last magnet]

I have BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.03125 for mine, I get 100% imprint on everything. Per Beacon it means I have an imprint event every 15 minutes, but as I have a couple of creatures that mature fast that giv me a chance to imprint them (or have my nanny do it)

My mature/egg hatch is 5, though, making gigas take 2 days, 8 hours to mature.

[lone fern]

Does you just need to do the baby cuddle interval? And nothing else?

[golden nest]

I'm back to having issues starting up the server again. Did an update and nothing will work, had this issue in the past and it was because of modmapid=1, but that isn't the case here

[last magnet]

it works best with adjusted rates. the settings you posted in your first message would work except for the babycuddle interval. I tested it in my Beacon settings, and I wasn't able to imprint 100%, but the setting I use does. the smaller the number the more frequent imprint.

but I have a nanny (CS Nanny) + the maeguanas/maewings + a structure (CS Mutator) that uses element to put out a growth boost pulse so even with the 5x setting, my critters can grow faster.

[lone fern]

Yeah I’m playing on PS4 on ASE and I’m doing this adjusting of stuff on my phone so

I’m just Tryna give peeps a better play experience. Instead of waiting 8 hours for a single imprint

So as long as I just change the Babycuddle interval to the setting you use, it’ll help imprinting be sped up a bit more? Sorry this is my first time hosting a server and I’ve been Tryna learn all this stuff as best as I can.

[golden nest]

I simply use BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=100 to max out the imprinting multiplier. I've found that certain creatures using the baby cuddle interval makes it impossible to 100% imprint everything in the game, as well as tame some creatures. If you touch cuddle interval, you then need to change grace period and the lose imprint quality. It's far better to change the imprintmultiplier itself otherwise you could break a lot of other things

[golden nest]

Is anyone else having troubles with their Dedicated servers? All I did was simply update my servers and now nothing will boot. I have redownloaded all the servers fresh, tried a fresh save with basic configs, and nothing will function. I haven't touched the firewall or port forwards since. It was all working PRIOR to 65.3, now I can't do anything. I'm actually getting extremely frustrated at how constant this game breaks.

[hallow pumice]

I think your intentions are very good.. better imprint will make people happy. its not only the time which they get older, having a timer to imprint is annoying.

[sour osprey]

Last night me and my buddy could join my server fine however we are trying today and anytime we move an item within our own inventory or a dinos we get kicked, anyone know why?

[golden nest]

Classic Ark, I think we have to wait for another patch

[hardy pelican]

anyone else having issues with extinction? people are just getting dc'd at random parts in the city and they aren't able to join back in unless they die

[still gorge]

Hi im trying to start a small server for me and some freinds, but I am running into some issues. for example S+ engrams are learnable, but the structures are not place able, secondly I have Upgrade station V1.8i which is not letting me learn any engrams. I have tried the mods in single player and they work perfectly fine.
Mod ids:
S+:731604991
ugr. st.:821530042

[serene gorge]

I have a question does Ark really work that 'well' on RX 9000 series? I've seen videos where at max settings in 4K, 5070 Ti had avg.21FPS and Rx 9070xt avg.35FPS. Because the result surprised me because Wildcard is the last studio which I would expect to favor Radeons.
Ps: I'm amd fanboy so I hope that is true.

[fathom moon]

Forward the ports on your router correctly and on the PC only allow the inbound traffic through the ark executable, there's not as much risk as you think

[golden nest]

I fixed our issue with the server not showing up in the browser. Had to run the command: Ark.UseServerList 0 at the main menu. Hopefully this will help anyone who knows for a fact they're port forwarded and the firewall is not a problem. Spent an hour on this problem, truly dumb things we need to do in order to play a game

[gilded monolith]

I’m having this same issue anyone figure out a fix?? Using Nitrado

[wise kindle]

Events in ASE are not supported and no longer occur in their original state.
The most you will get are dino colors.

[gilded monolith]

I’m on ASA

[wise kindle]

Oh the message you tagged was ASE.

For ASA be sure your mod is first in the mod order. Then do a destroywilddinos.

[gilded monolith]

Have done so, the mod is active the bunny dodos/oviraptors just won’t spawn even after a Dino wipe, event items show up in the smithy the load screen for eggcellent adventures shows up when spawning into the server the only thing that won’t spawn is the dodos/oviraptors

[wise kindle]

What map?

[gilded monolith]

The Island

[wise kindle]

What mods are you running?

[gilded monolith]

Only mods I have that change Dino’s spawns would probably be, Draconic Chronicles, Discovery World, and Custom Dino Levels

[wise kindle]

No idea, but Discovery has had issues in the past.
Event mods are sensitive and anything that adds alot of changes can cause this kind of thing.

[gilded monolith]

Ok Thankyou for the help, I’ll try find the Dino ID and force spawn them around the map see if that works 🙂

[wise kindle]

Np I wish you luck Sir.

[edgy phoenix]

I'm having an issue with the bunny dodos laying 100s of eggs way too fast and making the servers lag. Is there a setting I can change? Are they actual "eggs" or are they poop?

[charred furnace]

hey everyone i was wondering if someone could help maybe i am doing something wrong i installed the eggscellent mods on my server restarted my sever a few time and still not seing any rabit dodo or anything easter on my server is there something else we need to do ?

[tepid berry]

Anyone have a fix for Deinotherium not ever gaining any taming % on unofficial servers?

I've already basically built a new server, deleted all the steamcmd stuff, moved the save files over, but for the life of me I can't get them to gain any taming %

[wise kindle]

Be sure its first in the mod order.

[lone fern]

So I’m still gonna have to wait 8 hours before i can hatch a Wyvern on my server? Just that after 8 hours it’ll full imprint in one go?

Again sorry this stuff is all just confusing as hell.

[celest halo]

Do a wild Dino wipe

[golden nest]

No no no, the imprint multiplier INCREASES the amount of imprinting % you get. So if you set it to 100, you either imprint ONCE or twice to get the full 100% imprint bonus. It's helped everyone in my server immensely and overall feels better.

If you despise the egg hatching time, you can reduce it by using EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=20 which reduces the hatching time by 20x I think it's 10 or 20 minutes for wyvern eggs to hatch, maybe sooner. I haven't played on the server in a hot minute, but my players NEVER complain anymore about living on Ark

[lilac osprey]

Maybe someone can give me some insight. My server is currently on scorched earth and we cannot fight any deathworms at all. They despawn as soon as they enter any persons render distance. We dont know what is causing it.

[sharp grove]

For some reason when you die in my server (on Asa) you can't use your inventory anymore, does anyone know why???

[unborn smelt]

Hi does anyone know the max amount/file size for modded servers? PC and Console

[celest halo]

Servers shouldn't have one, unless Nitardo puts a limit on it, consoles have a limit Xbox I think is 20gb and ps think is 10gb

That's total mod storage, not sure if individual file has a size limit

[humble thicket]

Anyone else add the 3ggcellent event n it wiped n reset your server?

[hallow pumice]

I suggest using a program like Ark Server Manager, or I personally use Haruhost.. then you just really need to know how to do port forwards in your modem

[hallow pumice]

Easier to increase how much a single cuddle does.. I personally don't have time to check every couple of hours for another cuddle

[wide sail]

hello, i host a non-dedicated server, i installed a mod "awesome spyglass" but my friends can't join my game even though he has installed the mod ?
erorr "content failed to load"

[steep mesa]

Try having both of you uninstall and reinstall it at the same time, it could be a version mismatch or a corrupted file somewhere causing it. Also, are you both on PC? Some mods potentially could have platform specific issues, so it's worth checking the mods page on curseforge to see if anyone Is having the same issue if it persists

[hidden minnow]

Did the easter eggs in club ark not show up in unofficial servers?

[glossy summit]

Can I use the steamCMD version of the ASA Dedicated server and access it through ASA on gamepass? All on the same machine.

[waxen robin]

how do i enable official skins but not custom skins?

[young idol]

I made it thank you. I did the port forwards but my friend can' t find it. What can I do? The server manager says LAN only

[hallow pumice]

does it show up on battlemetrics ?

[young idol]

No.

[deft lily]

hello all, i hope i am posting this in the right spot. for several months i have been hosting multiple ASA servers created with SteamCMD. during which time some on my servers have had their characters disconnected from their account. being forced to create new characters. along with separate occasions, one will log in and their entire inventory will be empty. i run no mods on my servers fyi. i have tried doing a character rollback to see if that helps but that did not seem to do the trick. i dont think that i caught it in time before a new backup file was created. can anyone offer some suggestions?

[hallow pumice]

it should show up on battlemetrics, if it doesn't then you need to resolve that. going to have to guess your firewall isn't correct yet. you did a port forward for least the two ports.. like 7770 and 27040?

[hallow pumice]

creating new characters makes me thing thier UID.arkprofile isn't on the server

being ASA it's much longer, but not much different than the steam id version.

[deft lily]

for example some friends and i were playing we got kicked from the server and when we logged back in one of the three of us had to create a new character. and we were only out of game for like 45 seconds

[young idol]

Yes I port forward the 27015 and 7777 TCP and UDP. In the firewall I create a new rule select port than write the port number check evry box and hit finish.

[hallow pumice]

you can dm me your public ip address, and I will check. but usually, sounds like a firewall issue with port forward in router or pc firewall allow

especially if you can connect to it on lan

[hallow pumice]

ya with the Xbox flag next to your name, I'm not sure about the cross connect ability and the epic user id handling. I only use pc

[deft lily]

ok well thanks for the input

[grim grail]

Does anyone else use better boxes and visual storage mods and is having issues placing them down on a private server?

[humble thicket]

Does anyone know a fix or the issue when transferring to a different server in my cluster I try to load and it says network failure failed to spawn player controller??

[pale thunder]

I have a whitelist server for friends, and from absolutely nowhere a popup in game shows with "player xyz left this ark", but no trace of them ever joining the server. They are not whitelisted. Is this some weird glitch or has my server gotten f:ed with?

I also looke up the name on steam and that person had indeed played ark this evening.

[cobalt garnet]

hey is anybody able to help with how to add mods into the game? i have all of them downloaded in the workshop, just not sure how to get game into the game

[hallow pumice]

you mean skins for your local client or server mods?

[cobalt garnet]

server mods

[hallow pumice]

just add them as an argument on your server lauch command line. I will give you an example from one of my ASA servers

ArkAscendedServer.exe Astraeos_WP?RCONPort=27040?RCONEnabled=True?Port=7760?ServerAdminPassword=HidingPass -WinLiveMaxPlayers=10 -clusterID=mq212 -ForceAllowCaveFlyers -ClusterDirOverride=S:\ -mods=940975,950914,978309,929420,932365,928548,935408,930494,945629

[celest halo]

if they downloaded them from the workshop they are not on ASA and that wont work

[hallow pumice]

ok read that as curse, ya my bad

[still gorge]

Are you able to assist in mods for ASE servers, I have a problem with S+ and a couple other mods not working within my server

[hallow pumice]

no, I haven't hosted ASE servers in a long time. I got pretty mad when they took official servers down and only recently started playing ASA recently.

[still gorge]

Do you think you could be of some assistance with trouble shooting. Both ASE and ASA have similar code

[hallow pumice]

There isn't S+ in ASA, though someone is trying to replicate that with something called CS.. but aside from that, you can force the server to redownload the mods, or delete the mods from the mod directory. I kind of prefer the commandline way of doing it.

cheat RedownloadModsOnServerRestart

[still gorge]

is this within the game like the cmd console

[hallow pumice]

yes tab or ` however you got it set.. you can do it from RCON too, without the cheat word.

in RCON it won't give you feedback, but when you do it.. then restart the server. Could be mod corruption, they have been popping out updates a lot lately

[still gorge]

for server restart just close the steamcmd aplication and relaunch it?

[trim yew]

you do that, you get a small rollback

if console window is open, hit ctrl+c

[still gorge]

I have no progress on the server I care about js trying to get it started for freinds

[hallow pumice]

ya should do a saveworld before that

[visual zenith]

I’m new to this, just got ark evolved, to find out it’s the old version

[still gorge]

still a good game

[hallow pumice]

it's still very popular

[visual zenith]

Is it still viable to play against other people ?

Or do I have to buy ascended

[still gorge]

its arguably the better game for pvp

[hallow pumice]

tons of pvp players, if not the majority ASE PvP

[visual zenith]

I got it for my ps5, but wonder if I get ASA is it cross platform?

If I get it for my pc

[still gorge]

ASA is crossplatform for all current gen consols and pc if my memory serves me correctly

[visual zenith]

I’m just trying to find people to game with honestly. So majority of people play ASA instead of ASE

[hallow pumice]

no i think majority play ASE

[still gorge]

both games have 20k+ current players according to steam charts

[visual zenith]

I see, do you know where I can find people to play ASE?

[hallow pumice]

could try this channel : https://discord.com/channels/729837326120910915/1110925695900713072 or https://discord.com/channels/729837326120910915/800537425826021377

[visual zenith]

Thanks

[still gorge]

ok I pasted it into the CMD consol in game should it give me any notification/prompt

[hallow pumice]

no, that command doesn't give feedback

so now do saveworld, wait a few, shutdown and restart

[still gorge]

after running a couple more comands I dont get promped for anything like CMD god/fly which ik prompt me in singleplayer

idk if I admined myself proporly

[hallow pumice]

do a cheat command, like cheat fly

[still gorge]

alr that worked

[hallow pumice]

just make sure to cheat walk after that 🙂

[trim yew]

how does someone fix the log into game server and cant move for a long time...

[still gorge]

nah call me kratos with how im freefalling after loading back in

I js restarted the server and nothing diffrent happend from standard start up steam cmd openend displayed no text then closed again

[hallow pumice]

the cmd box is going away?

[still gorge]

the server opened, and with it it also launches steam cmd which on the first time booting up the server ever downloaded the mods then closed, but every time after that it openend displaded no text then closed again

[hallow pumice]

ok take a look at \ShooterGame\Saved\Logs

maybe we can see what it is struggling on

also, I would probably store away all the .ark files you have and those backups least for now

[still gorge]

as ive stated before the server has had no real play time on it so if it melts down and explodes nothing is lost

[hallow pumice]

ok

[still gorge]

its so weird because I have the same modpack on a singleplayer session and all those mods work fine

[hallow pumice]

ya and normally, if it's like a skin mod, even if it's in the server list.. it just says something like, nope not loading that and moves along.

the window shutting down is wierd and I think we need to see at what point it crashes

[still gorge]

do you think this would be easier to solve over video/call?

[hallow pumice]

i can't do that right now, wife is up and keeps telling me what she wants on Amazon, so a little distracted

but you doing this all this the old fashion way, where you installed steamcmd etc?

[still gorge]

no problem Im going to try the "cheat RedownloadModsOnServerRestart" again and record launching the server

[hallow pumice]

I'm a huge fan of Haruhost for my servers in my house.. it doesn't cost anything and pretty easy to use for many games

[still gorge]

is that a windows app or a linix distro?

[hallow pumice]

windows

[still gorge]

gotcha yeah I've been doing it the old fassioned way

[hallow pumice]

did you get the log file though, you should be able to post it here, I don't think the bots will delete the message.. just make sure to hide the passwords

[still gorge]

Idk if im in the right spot, but the log is empty

[hallow pumice]

shouldn't be empty, should have stuff like you would see in the cmd window

is there a way to turn off grass on ase?
google doesnt seem to yield any useful results for ase, but i might just not be looking hard enough

[flint finch]

We have enable raid dino feeding on and the extinction titans are still passively starving ( even tho they are full food)

Is there any way to fix that

[still gorge]

add a mod

if your on ase for example mod id:1639458270

[worldly bear]

yo do events such as the easter one automatically apply on ASE dedicated servers ?

so did ark break mod support now? like i cant use any mods it just crashes... crash logs states Requested mods failed to load on server. this is the 1000-90 stacks mod... and tried with just the east event mod...

[elfin frigate]

hello everyone i have a server every time is crashes and ( admin panel not working )

[hallow pumice]

are you able to get access to the startup logs?

ShooterGame\Saved\Logs

[elfin frigate]

no and even the server is on and when i go in the game is say's to refresh and it does not let me join and even other people that play in my server is the same they see refresh and they glitch in the game the hole day

[hallow pumice]

ASE or ASA?

[elfin frigate]

[hallow pumice]

server name?

[river solar]

Anyone who has used nucleus split screen with evolved? Cant find the server to join and would appreciate help.

[last magnet]

have you updated the certificates? #general message

bc CF's root certificate renewed

[trim yew]

for a windows server?

[last magnet]

yup

[trim yew]

hmm, whats the process for that?

[last magnet]

read the message I linked it had the process

you'll want the links labeled perm btw

[trim yew]

okay, thanks ill be checking it out soon

[trim yew]

that seemed to have worked, but i downloaded the DER cert files and installed to local machine

[last magnet]

those should work too, I used the perm ones

on my server machine that is

[nova cipher]

I have completed the following and the server is not launching (ports are not binding):

Is there a limit to how many mods a SP file can have on PC?

[glossy summit]

So I believe I've identified my issue with Ark servers.

Gamepass version is on 1.65.1 while the steamCMD server file is 1.65.3. Anyone know when the xbox version updates?

Actually looking at the patch notes that may not be the issue.

[nova cipher]

Server status is "Ticking Loop"

[subtle ledge]

I'm having the same problem

[snow coral]

So im having an issue with my server. I was on astraeos with my friend and joined tribes. And I open the wheel and see something about cosmetics. Curious I open it and it logs me off to go to the store. Well I go log back onto the server and now every time I do I'm naked with nothing, there's no tames or structures and my friend is nowhere in sight. I can move and jump, can't punch, and don't take any damage but that lasts for just a few seconds before I get kicked. Is there a specific issue or am I just out of luck like with extinction

[subtle ledge]

So mine is just greyed out on the main screen and if I look it up no sessions pop up and if I push refresh it will bring the server up like 1/10 times but it'll kick me out before it can even verify the mods

[pale thunder]

Do events no longer work on ASE? We enabled the easter event but there are no bunny dodos, bunny oviraptors, and the craftable stuff does not show in the cooking pot.

[last magnet]

I found the craftable stuff in the smithy, but I think the easter event critters are ASA

[wise kindle]

Events will no longer function on ASE.

[pale thunder]

Well that is dumb 😦 Gonna have to spawn in stuff for my server members then

[wise kindle]

It’s unsupported so its kind of expected tbh. Hasnt been supported in over a year.

[green lily]

Hello, I have setup server and trying to change my graphic settings with console commands, but nothing changes.. The clouds are still there and no visual change to brightness, bloom or anything.. This worked last time I played ASE, is something changed? Command I tried:"r.VolumetricCloud 0 | r.Fog 0 | grass.enable 0 | r.Streaming.PoolSize 0 | r.Nanite.MaxPixelsPerEdge 4 | r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.RadianceCache.ProbeResolution 16 | r.DynamicGlobalIlluminationMethod 1 | r.VolumetricCloud.ViewRaySampleMaxCount 64 | r.VolumetricRenderTarget.Mode 3 | r.DepthOfFieldQuality 0 | r.VolumetricCloud.StepSizeOnZeroConservativeDensity 4". This is a old command I used before. Anywhere I might need to enable changes to graphic through the console maybe?

[pale thunder]

It seems all the other events work, it's just the easter one since it was only an EVO event rather than one with items and creatures

[wise kindle]

Awesome. This one doesn’t lol.

[verbal cove]

Hi, can we make spawn golden eggs Eggcellent adventure on private serv?

Sorry to bother you guys but does anyone know any servers that have no wipe and no crazy multipliers

What was the last line in the console before you closed it, and are there crash logs

[lucid solstice]

#1110925695900713072

[white garnet]

do we use the old mod id for the eggcellent adventure? 877745 or is there a new one for 2025?

oh it does look like it was updated nvm

[hardy pelican]

anyone else having issues with extinction? people are just getting dc'd at random parts in the city and they aren't able to join back in unless they die

happens even on a fresh install

[jaunty vortex]

Most of what you have is more appropriate for ASE. You don’t need the query port. Use -port=7777 and not ?port. Max players is -winlivemaxplayers=10

I’d have to check the rcon syntax as I’m going from memory. .

[glossy summit]

I'm moving a server from local to dedicated, I've managed to find and copy over the savedArks folder with the .ark file, and I can load into the world, but I can't find the .tribes saved file. Is this stored differently on a non-dedicated?

[glossy summit]

When I access the dedicated server I can see the tribe buildings, and my old character model. The dedicated server generates an .arkprofile for the new character I log in as, but the local server doesnt have any .arkprofiles for me to copy over

[hallow pumice]

just use cheat and take the tribe, me personally, I don't see it as cheating to catch up the replacement character to where you were. If that matters to you

[celest halo]

Single player profiles are stored in a different folder I believe, not home to check , think folder is named local

[hearty wedge]

Any sage tricks for (ASA) ScorchedEarth_WP having janky despawn behavior for wyverns and deathworms? My server seems to be spawning plenty (lots of abandoned eggs in the trench, ~90 worms on the map according to savedata) but they're almost all Heisenspawns that poof out of existence as soon as a player enters render range. It's lucky if you encounter more than three wyverns in the scar and you can run a full lap around the edge of the map without seeing a single worm!

Hi, Has anyone maybe had a problem with the map the center? when no one plays it there is a ram memory leak and it slowly grows higher all the time, when someone enters the map the ram memory resets and does not leak. This happens only on the map The center.

does it show up in battlemetrics?

[frigid vine]

Good Morning 🙂 Find out somebody already a way to increase the decay of the wind turbines after the last patcH?

[toxic hazel]

Most common is people not ticking player server bottom right of the server list and having only say 1 map selected to show, other then that is usually need certs

[main depot]

Does anyone have any idea how it could happen with a specific mod that you can no longer see your inventory? Only this mod is installed. Map doesn't matter.

It seems like there's something in the config that's causing a conflict. We just haven't done anything particularly great in the config (changed a few values ​​for stacking; adjusted breeding, taming, and harvesting, of course; we can also skill dino speed).

It's specifically about Nekatus' mod "Astreaos: Mythological Creatures." The mod doesn't really have anything to do with inventories, but something is still triggering the error. But what? What in the config could trigger something like this? Has anyone had this problem before? There are also a few empty inventory reports in the bug forum. It works in single player, by the way. Only on the server – the config is the only thing that's different – ​​so that's where I suspect it.

[gentle sail]

Do we know if the 5.5 ue update will mess with mods?

[arctic mica]

They mentioned in a community crunch that they're putting in effort to minimise the impact that the update will have on mods before they release it, but yeah in general it sounds like it'll have an impact. Time will tell 😅

[gentle sail]

Ffs thank you

[celest halo]

It definitely will mess with mods, how bad no one knows

[clever trail]

Hi how can i join to someone (epic games) and i am (steam)

we dont see eachother servers

[hallow pumice]

you on ASE and you have a dedicated server?

[empty ice]

old ark and undedicaded server

[hallow pumice]

so ASE, so if I recall correctly, there is an allowepic flag needed on the server

[empty ice]

what is this?

[hallow pumice]

back then epic and steam were not very friendly, and the dedicated server needed to be configured to allow epic and crossplay

[empty ice]

so how i can do that?

[worldly spoke]

Does anyone have a copy of the suggested fix that nitrado had posted a few days ago to make your server show up ? c

they removed it but now I am having a problem again

[hallow pumice]

i'm sorry my memory isn't fresh enough to remember exactly, i just remember the struggle was real. I do recall being able to go into singe player mode, opening up the console with tab or whatever, then being able to type "open IPAddress:port" of the server you are trying to connect to

[empty ice]

so i only need to copy " ... "

[hallow pumice]

I don't host on nitrado so not sure, I host on my own pc's in the basement 🙂

[hallow pumice]

ya I would try to get the server's ip and port and just try to direct connect

[worldly spoke]

I would but I am on a pc version of xbox so nitrado is my only option

[hallow pumice]

do you know the server name niok?

[hallow pumice]

tbh, I feel there should be channel dedicated to pc, xbox and ps, so the info can be in one spot

[empty ice]

my friend turn off pc but the name was DINUSIE2

[hallow pumice]

tried searching on battlemetrics and nothing but a page full of chinese servers..

[empty ice]

... we are polish

[hallow pumice]

ya no results

probably cause it's offline, but usually there is least a history of what it was

I believe and scratching memory cells, if he used Ark Server Manager, there was a way to just check crossplay and allow epic as an option.

[empty ice]

thanks

[hallow pumice]

ya sorry, maybe a current ASE person who manages servers will chime in.

For anyone having issues with servers not showing up on nitrado cross play after yesterdays patch , reach out to nitrado customer support via chat , they were able to fix the problem and I did not lose any progress , guess with the update that WC did it screwed up something in my files and nitrado support was able to fix it .

[fierce timber]

The unofficial server I help manage has been in an infinite reboot loop and the usual fix I've used in the past doesn't work on reloading from an older backup save file.

After awhile of the reboot loop, the server eventually just shuts down.

Never had a reboot loop this bad before as reloading a past backup to start at server launch always fixed it before

[last magnet]

possibly a mod went bad

[worldly spoke]

Contact customer support through chat , they fixed mine within ten minutes and nothing was missing , it wasn't a mod it was another half@## update.

[deft lily]

I have a steamCMD created cluster that has been running for a while now and was wondering if someone could lend me some advice. After transferring between maps within my cluster, once I arrive it no longer says my name within my inventory above my level. It just says Player. That is till I fast travel/respawn/die/eat my implant on the map that I transferred to. In every way, everything works correctly except for things like auto doors. (I run face first into them). Is there something I am missing in my .ini files that keeps my character from being instantly recognized upon transferring?

[hexed tartan]

In my opinion you are missing absolutely nothing. The exact same thing happens to me on my cluster - name change to player until I respawn... auto doors stop working... Personally I think it's just a bug... or a feature, depending on how you look at it. 🤣

[thin kettle]

Can anyone help me figure out day cycle duration for the Island map? I am playing on an unofficial server as a player so I have no access to server config but it's supposed to be the same as official servers.

What I'm struggling with is to find out ratio between real life time and in-game time. I've tried timing one in-game minute which on average was about 5 seconds (slightly more, I think). Full in-game hour ended up being around 5 minutes 10 seconds.

I've tried using these calculations for small side project but it does not give consistent results in predicting what time it will be in game at specific real life time.

[arctic sage]

isn't it 1 hour for 1 day/nigh cycle?

so 60/24 for minutes per hour

[thin kettle]

No, it's longer than 1 hour for sure. From what I've found so far, different maps have different settings to them so cycle lengths aren't the same. That's why I am looking into Island specifically

[arctic sage]

and that would be 40 minutes day, 20 minutes night

those are the defaults as far as i know

[median fern]

is it unbalanced to use der dino finder on a pve server? not sure if i should lock it behind tek or to just have it straight away

[arctic sage]

probably not, it's mostly a massive timesaver

[echo stone]

Anyone else have issues with constant crashing when you logging in? Happens a few times and you have to wait for your character to register that its offline before you can try and get in again, sometimes it even black screens. Seems like my PS5 users are having this issue mainly and It can take 30 mins to almost an hour before you can finally getting to play.

[deft lily]

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Glad I’m not the only one. Have a good one and happy ark’n

[grand jacinth]

Xbox one users also every damn server map within minutes kicked try to tame anything haha good luck so far my scorched server is the worst one I have died over 15 times within 30min I’m lucky it let me in long enough to put all my stuff in my pyro before it kicked me and killed me when I got back in!

[last magnet]

per Beacon, on defaults, the day is 1h 18m 13s, the night is 35m 9s, making a full day cycle equal to 1h 53m 22s in real time. I have mine set to give me ~4 hours realtime for 1 day in game

that's for The Island in particular. SE, Center, Ab, and Extinction are all different (I haven't checked Astreos yet)

[thin kettle]

that's great info, thanks! a silly question to follow but time flow speed is the same, right? as-in, day or night has no matter, in 5 minutes you would have X in-game hours passed?

[last magnet]

yep

also doesn't affect the maturation/incubation timers, they're a different system in case that was also a concern

[vital quartz]

about two weeks ago my server stopped being able to download mods from curseforge.

dedicated server windows server 2019 hosted by hetzner

this is the error i get:

LogCFCore: Error: Error querying server mods: ApiError: Failed (serverUnreachable)

I changed the certificate, redid windows firewall settings and allowed all ports for the exe for testing, used only one mod where i know it works.

anyone got an idea what i am missing? thx in advance.

[hot glacier]

Did you find a solution to this? The same thing is happening to me...

[distant hearth]

remove the old cert and reinstall again , server is getting blocked from access to the site for w.e dumb reason ark or steam or curseforge decide.
hopefully that will fix

[vital quartz]

its an issue with unreal/epic not steam but yeah. i did re install it once to no avail. an hour ago it was fixed by using the ark manager. after that it worked also with my regular servers.

what a dumb thing 😄 thank you regardless though 😄

[plucky wren]

I'm trying to get my dedicated server listed either in the in game server list or in the steam server list. It does not show. Port 27015 issue, right? I've forwarded the port (I run multiple web servers and proxies, this shouldn't be an issue... 27015 -> 27015 UDP)

I've also stripped the command line down to bare bones and regenerated default configs.

I can connect to the dedi via open [ADDRESS]

Ascended

[distant hearth]

ark ascended or ark evolved server?

[vital quartz]

probably the same issue with a certificate then i had.

[plucky wren]

I did run the powershell script as I was originally trying to run the server with mods, and those didn't seem to error out

[distant hearth]

ascended does not use steam for its server listing in game,
its run through eos (epic online services) it only needs the one game port forwarderd in udp to be listed , using commamd -port=xxxxx where x is the port number

[plucky wren]

Default should be 7777, right?

[distant hearth]

yea if u dont set it then 7777 is what it use if only got one server running

[vital quartz]

yeah same issue as i had. try using the Ark Dedicated Server manager. needs an account though.

when researching the faulty mod downloads i came across multiple postings about server not being visible and those related to certificate issues too

[plucky wren]

I'm wondering if my NAT device is filtering traffic on the WAN (despite 7777 being forwarded...)

[plucky wren]

arkservermanager.freeforums net thread/5193/downloads ?

[plucky wren]

ty

[distant hearth]

im hopeless at networking tbh but i know some people have issues with 7777, try 7778udp
heres a simple working ascended server start command,
Start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="my server name" -port=7778 -winlivemaxplayers=10

they made it much simpler commands for ascended imho

[plucky wren]

I mean I typically write my startup scripts in python for easy editing and modification so I don't have to worry about it

This feels like networking to me...

[vital quartz]

i installed it, setup a new profile installed the server, added a mod, saw that the mod download was working closed everything and deinstalled it again and used my own setup for the servers 😄

[vital quartz]

yeah same but i use batch files for that 😄

[plucky wren]

I hope you mean bash and not batch

[distant hearth]

windows server, so batch haha

[vital quartz]

@echo off
:start
start /B /WAIT "Steam" CMD /C D:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir d:\nrwasa\theisland\ +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

:running
tasklist | findstr /i island.exe && goto running
goto start

nope good ol batch 😄

i have to rewrite the scripts though. its not meant for multiple servers yet. so there is that.

[distant hearth]

you find that online somewhere an copy paste ? its all sorts of not needed junk in there, but if it works then hey it works

[vital quartz]

what junk? everything is needed. i rename the exe files, so i can find them via tasklist. if the task is not there it restarts the server automatically.

[plucky wren]

Where in the ASA Dedi Manager is the certificate installer?

[vital quartz]

there isnt one. just install a server once. that did it for me

oh the -allcores is obsolete.

[distant hearth]

?listen not needed does nothing
?queryport not needed is old evolved steam listing port
-allcore -useavailbleallcore old ase commands that dont do owt in asa

i havent tested the serverlog commands , suspect they likely do nothing in asa too but might be wrong, i prefer to work with kiss
but i am a bit stupid anyway tbh haha

luckily the server will ignore any commands it dont recognise , aslong as the format is correct

[vital quartz]

queryport not working is unconfirmed, listen does work, but you have a point with the other 2.

copied it from my ase servers back in 2023 😄

[distant hearth]

i can 10000% guarantee that you do not need query por

[celest halo]

queryport does nothing ASA dont use steam networking it uses EOS

[distant hearth]

if it works it works, just makes trouble shooting later on a pain , you never know wtf wildcard might change or break hahah

[vital quartz]

yeah i know. the wiki is still listing it as unconfirmed ^^ or questionmark.

back then i did check the wiki and most command where unkown at that point. worked so i didnt change it ^^ never change a running system 😄

[plucky wren]

Yeah the manager keeps yelling about a missing maxplayers and port, despite filling in those values 🙃

[vital quartz]

lol try your regular script. maybe the installation of the server fixed it already.

[celest halo]

till it breaks like having ActiveMapMod in GUS did 🤣

[distant hearth]

that was fun 🙂 prob still some servers out there broken becuase of it

[vital quartz]

at least it is not yaml. another game used that for their settings. one wrong indentation and the server wouldnt boot up. good luck fixing that 😄

[celest halo]

thats what they make linters for, find your formatting errors in yaml and json 🤣

[vital quartz]

explain that to the average joe 😄

[plucky wren]

I should still be able to see my server in the server list if I'm on the same NAT/subnet as the dedi, right?

[vital quartz]

As long as it is not on the same machine then yes.

[plucky wren]

I did a dumb and forgot to check password protected servers 🙃

[vital quartz]

So it worked?

[plucky wren]

yeap. Probably was the whole time

[vital quartz]

Well try mods then if they work now 😂

[fast crypt]

Hey so anyone know if you can and how to raise the level cap of tames before they get destroyed? They seem to poof at level 800 and I dont see a way to level it

[obsidian oxide]

Has anyone had issues with nitrado and clusters and duplication of items? It’s like it loads you inventory in then reloads it in a few seconds later?

[arctic sage]

on official? or?

[fast crypt]

Unofficial

[gloomy yew]

Yes all the time

[fringe tulip]

has someone manage to get astraeos free run on root / non nitrado servers ?

[iron cairn]

Does anyone know how to disable the option for the game to reinstall itself completely? I only have 150GB free on my hard drive and the game doesn't update anymore

[obsidian oxide]

Does any one know a fix for it? driving our cluster nuts we had to dsiable it for now as obv op in pvp to dupe

[gloomy yew]

No I wish we are pve server but still its annoying to us as well

[drifting osprey]

We have a dedicated server going and everyone gets failed to connect except one person now. Anyone ever run into this issue?

Not nitrado server, someone is running it off a 2nd pc

[last magnet]

probably need to doublecheck ports

[warped flare]

Hello can someone help me with a shockbyte server problem my friend can join from epic but i cant join from steam even i have the right port

[odd prairie]

hello, im trying to selfhost an ase server, i had it up and running well without any mods, but when i tried to add mods using -automanagedmods i am now encoutnering mod verison mismatch, Ive unsubscried, removed, resubscribed and redownloaded the mods several times but cant seem to get it to work

[crisp nymph]

Every time I try and join my nitrado server it keeps saying connection timed out so freaking annoying

[arctic sage]

that is how steam does the update, no way to fix that

it's updating, not reinstalling

[jaunty vortex]

It's because \steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Content\Paks\pakchunk0-Windows.ucas is 185GB in size.

It needs that much space again to patch the file.

[quasi gull]

what does the server settting max difficulty mean if it is on or off and how is it on officials

[echo stone]

This crashing upon logging in multiple times sometimes taking 45 mins to get on the game has really stressed my community out. We have lost so many members who have decided to quit ark due to it. 😔 really hoping for a fix for this issue! Seems most of it is ps5 players too!

[jaunty vortex]

How many mods do you have? Because that sounds to me like not enough RAM on the consoles to cope with them.

[distant hearth]

it forces the game/server to use overrideofficialdifficulty=5
if set true

[mellow nymph]

Is anyone else having trouble with decay timers resetting after every restart? is there a way to fix this?

anyone having problems with running a dedicated serer for Center? It was working just fine but now im getting a fatal error. My other servers on other maps start just fine.

[last magnet]

are the other servers using the same mods? bc I had to remove a mod earlier this week from my Center map to get it running

[gleaming merlin]

yes. I even tries to run Center with MODs and still get a fatal error

I think it might have to do something with my VM

maybe.. im kinda guessing now

[humble thicket]

Hi all, i host my own server and ive noticed when im logged in and spawn an item i dont get it, i also try and pick up items and it doesnt sync to my inventory, but when i transfer i get everything. does anyone kno what could be causing htis?

the center map's rough performance wise. Might be a corrupted map or hardware

my server machine struggles a bit with it but I'm running ten year old tech

Its throughout all servers, not just center

Any chance anyone can help with ASE Omega? I've already been running an Ase and Asa clusters years on a home server. Players wanted an ASE Omega server spun up.

Hello everyone !
I need some PS5 users to answer me or does who know the answer.

Do you know the size limit of mods you can download and add on the console ?

Someone told me that the limit is 12GO... I asked ChatGPT the same question and it responds me 30GO....

I'm really worried about this limit because it's like a wall to creativity with this limit...

[strange swallow]

How can I make modded caves on my ps4 ark server I’m trying find all the commands but I can’t seem to find anything about it anyone who can help me out dm me please

[jaunty vortex]

I would be more concerned about running out of RAM before running out of mod storage. Some mods need a lot of it.

[sharp vessel]

Honestly, I asked my community about that, and... we don't have a lot of "big mods" but the limit seems to be a real problem too...
It seems, mod support is not at all ready for consoles xD

[fading charm]

hi

[alpine mountain]

Hi everyone, im wondering if anyone could help me out with a weird problem. Friends of mine haven't played ASA in a few weeks but we have time now. Unfortunately they are unable to join my self hosted server but I've changed no settings since the last time they've played. My server settings are all good, port forwarding is 27015, 7777, 7778, and 8888, all TCP/UDP. Nothings changed but they just continually get connection timeout errors. They can join official servers, and other no password unofficial servers without a problem. I'm able to join my own server no problem. They have restarted their wifi routers, they have uninstalled all mods and reinstalled, they deleted the game and reinstalled. I'm at a loss at what next to look at

We all are on ps5 too btw

[strange pagoda]

Everyone is currently having trouble getting on, hang tight I'm sure they'll have the issue fixed soon

[alpine mountain]

Yea I realized about the loading content problem but that wasn't the issue yesterday when we were troublehooting. Yesterday I didn't have any issues but they had the ones I detailed above

[real spoke]

How do I start a non dedicated server?

[spare raft]

Hello. With the arrival of 5.5 I'm afraid that my server saves will be corrupted. Do I have to remove the mods in advance and put them in once we're sure they're available in 5.5? Is there a risk of losing dinos and items like when removing Garuga mods once it's official?

[swift perch]

#bobs-with-probs

[plain mortar]

need a shop for dinos

[mint widget]

got a server going but when i join says Connection Time out

got the Server has completed startup and is now advertising for join. message on the console

[arctic sage]

keep the servers offline for a few day's / make a good backup / if you remove mods for dino's then those tamed ones also will be removed, so just keep the server offline for a bit to see if it works first, and backups, alway's backups

[nova cipher]

Anybody running the Ark Descended mod and having issues with maturity speeds?

[spare raft]

Hi, new problem. For several days now I haven't been able to do anything in my workshop... it's at -284/75. My team mate has no problems. Any solution?

[hardy marten]

That is either port forwarding or firewall. If you are on the same wifi as the machine you are hosting from then you will be able to connect but nobody from outside your network will.

[golden nest]

I just installed the Easter event on our Ark server and it DELETED everything we had on the map, all structures, all dinos, literally EVERYTHING

Well that's cool, we lost 3 days worth of progress. Never installing mods from the developers again, what the hell.

[wise kindle]

Roll back to a previous save.

[golden nest]

That IS the previous save

[wise kindle]

Sounds like you might need to look at saving your backups. Typically you save the last 10 or so.

[golden nest]

I'm staring at them right now as I type, our old one on April 25th is 145,616KB, the one from right now is 81,072.

Structures I could potentially see because they were modded, but VANILLA creatures!?

[wise kindle]

You likely had a game corruption when you added the mod. This reverts it to a new save or the last good one you had.

Its expected behavior tbh.

[celest halo]

Sounds like you messed up you start script, just installing the mod wouldn't of done that, this discord would of been flooded with messages if it did

[wise kindle]

^^ Stolen would know

[golden nest]

start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheCenter_WP?AltSaveDirectoryName=CenterSave?listen?OverrideOfficialDifficulty=4.0 -NoTransferFromFiltering -WinLiveMaxPlayers=10 -NoBattlEye -mods=928603,928597,939507,955451,946694,931874,927090,929543,1233967 That's all the start script is, minus the easter event, session name, and the ports used

I put the easter mod id DIRECTLY after the equals sign for the -mods= arg

I'm going copy one of our known and working backups from 3 days ago and test it with the mod added and see if it breaks it

On our old save WITHOUT the mod, I'm in the world perfectly fine without issues

The moment I add the easter event mod, it literally breaks the world. I just reproduced it twice now

I guess that means the save is broken beyond repair and we need to start fresh anyways?

Has anyone tested the Easter Event on the center map?

It broke the Island server too! And that one hasn't been used in 4 months I believe

I'm going to assume over the many updates from the last year, things have been slowly becoming corrupted over time. I'm going to reinstall all the server installation files, and move our worlds over to "fresh" instances. the developers have truly messed something up something somewhere.

None of my many other game servers have this problem

[alpine mountain]

my port forwarding is good, or at least I think it is. How would I go about doublechecking my firewall?

[golden nest]

Now I've just encountered something extremely interesting. After reinstalling the server and using the same bat file as before, the server never appears in the browser.

However, if I use my OLD gameusersettings file, then it shows up in the browser perfectly okay?

I might have found a potential cause. The default GameUserSettings.ini that is now shipped with SteamCMD doesn't have any of these options:

ServerAdminPassword= ServerPassword= Port= QueryPort=

After manually adding them, everything starts up as normal. 10/10 Wildcard, genuinely. Phenomenal job.

You can't use arguments to options THAT DON'T EXIST!

Does no one test anything before they release them?

[golden nest]

You are NOT going to believe this for a second.

After COMPLETELY re-downloading the Ark Survival Ascended Dedicated Server from SteamCMD, moving my save from 3 days ago which was confirmed to be broken on the easter event, now WORKS and functions properly after a complete reinstallation.

Which is even funnier because the NEW configs from above ^ don't even have ALL the information in them as it stands to start a server from scratch without MANUAL edits to make the server visible to the internet. This entire thing is a joke.

Actual WildCard screw up on this one, they broke 2 of my server installations, because of the event, just wow.

[wise kindle]

You had some kind of corruption going on. I have the mod running on 23 maps including mods maps with zero issues.
Its possible you had a bad mod download or something of the sort.

[celest halo]

there is also nothing you need to edit to make servers show in the server list and QueryPort= does nothing with ASA

[golden nest]

Untrue, after using the exact same bat file from before, the server would start, but never be visible after advertising for join. I had to manually open the gameusersettings.ini and add the lines:

Port=<port>
QueryPort=<queryport>
Password=<password>

And after that, it started up perfectly fine without any problems. If you don't believe me, I highly encourage you to prove me wrong because I believe there are deeper elements to the problem.

I don't know enough about the query port, but server installation installation guide says: "Port=7777,PeerPort=port+1,QueryPort=27015"

So I give each server 2 different ports for the game, then a different query port. I have not had a single problem with this method. If the documentation is false, then Wildcard needs to get on that

[celest halo]

thats ASE info, ASA dont use dont use steam backend so no A2S QueryPort for listing server info, ASA uses EOS, ASA also dont use a PeerPort, you only need to forward one UDP port to be able to connect and play

[golden nest]

That's good to know, I'll make some adjustments to everything here shortly, thanks for the tip!

[tough egret]

Is it safe to remove the Easter mod? Ik in the past doing so would remove event skins etc

[celest halo]

id wait till its removed off officials to be safe 🤣

[tough egret]

Didn't it end at 3pm tho or did it get extended? Was confused why 2x and not back to 1x

[celest halo]

Community Crunch says 30th

[winter halo]

Wanted to ask, on my unoffical club ark, all the dinos I get from the rewards are really low random levels. Some are level 4, the highest I think I have gotten, after about 20 of them is like level 26.

Is this intended behavior or is there a setting I need to add to the ini in order to change this behavior?

I cannot seem to find any information on it after searching

[winter halo]

Is anyone familiar with this that can help?

[golden nest]

Figured it would be best to ask before I do anything absolutely stupid. Is it safe to run different maps off of 1 installation for Ark Ascended? I currently have 5 installations and it's becoming quite cumbersome to manage all the separate folders and individual files

[sharp siren]

of course, they all get different save directories, and you can further control that with -altsavedirectoryname

iirc if you want separate config files, you have to mess about with symlinks

[golden nest]

I'll switch all of it over to one installation tomorrow so I don't have to manage 6 of them in the future, I don't mind if they all share the same configs, I just need consistency for everyone in the group

[compact moon]

Why do players always have no characters and tribal buildings disappear, including dinosaurs?

[bleak ivy]

@hollow schooner (tried to reply and it deleted sorry lol)

best way is to use a calculator like beacon (does require omni) or copy a paste bin for it.

https://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/10/517142253858366913/
that gives level 300. you'll also get 95 more levels for your survivor before getting any extra levels. (if you are in ASA then you'll just go to the max level and stop since the setting is semi broken)

the same setting is used twice to effect dinos, thats why there is two.

[hollow schooner]

Can u add me on discord

[bleak ivy]

my DMs are open

[hollow schooner]

Dmd you ❤️

Good afternoon
i don't know where toa ask this

I just got an ark server and want to know where on the server in the XP multiplier for dinos , to get more melee points per level upgrade

because i get the xp multiplier but it doesn't work on the melee and health point its 10 points and not more

[arctic sage]

it's not a xp modifier, you have to adjust the actual stat to give more points per level up in that stat, https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration it should be in there somewhere

although i would watch out with it, it will unbalance the game completely

[stark zenith]

i treid looking there but no luck but thanks for the assist

[celest halo]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#PerLevelStatsMultiplier

[arctic sage]

or you could do tamed dino resistance multiplier and damage multiplier.
that way if you want to return to normal, you can just change those numbers, instead of having to tame new stuff

[arctic sage]

what stolenvw linked, or what i adviced both can work

[stark zenith]

Dankie

Wanted to ask, on my unoffical club ark, all the dinos I get from the rewards are really low random levels. Some are level 4, the highest I think I have gotten, after about 20 of them is like level 26.

Is this intended behavior or is there a setting I need to add to the ini in order to change this behavior?

I cannot seem to find any information on it after searching

I can change the reward multiplier no problem but can’t seem to figure this one out

[wise kindle]

The only settings available for Club Ark are the hex settings. Its extremely limited unfortunately.

[winter halo]

That’s unfortunate. That’s the one problem I have with it lmao!

[last magnet]

I found that if I set it to difficuluty=25 (makes wild levels top at 750) that I had a lvl 700 dunk that I go from one of the shops, so that's configurable (and the dodos I have to chase are like lvl 100)

[winter halo]

Interesting. I set the difficulty offset to the official setting (5 I believe) so that’s very strange. Maybe I mistyped or something? I’ll check back when I am home tonight! Thanks for the input!

[last magnet]

it was OverrideOfficialDifficulty=25

I use a similar setting for my actual servers so if I won any critters from the games, I wanted them to be equivalent to what I had or better

[winter halo]

Thank you!!
Got it! Does this go into gameusersettings.ini or just game.ini?

can only start Island.
Aberration and Astraeos crash while starting

[rapid creek]

Oddly Island is the only one I can't start

[modern cipher]

our island and extinction are still working, but aberration, SE, center are in the crash loop

[rapid creek]

What's odd is my Island came up at first, but then I remembered I needed to make an exclusive join modification, so I made that, restarted again and now it's in the loop.

[sharp vessel]

All my servers are crashing except Club ARK, is this an Eggcellent Adventure mod problem ?

[compact forge]

That I thought but some ppl said that their all servers are using eggcellent and still only some does not start.

[rapid creek]

Yeah, all my servers except island start and they have the mod

[sharp vessel]

Weird, I can't know where the problem came from but it's kinda annoying xD

[modern cipher]

all of our servers are running eggcellent, but only 2 of them are running

[sharp vessel]

The weird thing is, my second cluster is working but my first cluster, nope

[compact forge]

Funny little bit because patch info said only "fixed an exploit" 😄

[rapid creek]

Can't exploit what doesn't work

[sharp vessel]

They fixed an exploit for own machine users xD

[opaque tulip]

Exploit = running multiple servers on one machine?

[celest halo]

they fixed all the exploits, cant exploit anything if server is not running 🤣

[sharp vessel]

Welp, we don't have any other solution to wait, I guess

[compact forge]

Nope and Steam is starting maintenance soon.

[sharp vessel]

Yey, the weekly maintenance to annoy us with another problem lmao

[rapid creek]

ah, forgot about that

[sharp vessel]

Maybe.... They planned and failed the launch of UE 5.5 and launch the new versions of the mods 🙃

Joking btw

[compact forge]

Maybe they are testing it already 😄

[sharp vessel]

If it is, pls, let them cooking on a dev branch, not on the core branch xD

[rapid creek]

lol

[compact forge]

But why to test it in another way? 😄 players and servers hosters are the best way to do it!

[sharp vessel]

To be honest, we are doing the same sometimes at my job... Being a dev is a devil job sometimes 😏

[rapid creek]

Guessing it's a toasted file, probably some servers are verifying and replacing it, some aren't

[sharp vessel]

I don't know, before the crash log, I got a warning message with the same file as you, asked ChatGPT wtf was that and installed it, now, I don't have warning message but crashlog, I'm assuming, I did my job untile WC did their job xD

[rapid creek]

Fair, that error used to be super common on Evolved servers when you'd first install them

They never had the DX stuff bundled in properly

[dense heart]

Hey guys after a small update we can’t bring back our servers - does anyone can help?

[sharp vessel]

Same here buddy, same...

[dense heart]

No one knows why? 🥲

[sharp vessel]

Some server owners have servers ON and some not, and some server owners like me have their full cluster offline lmao

That's random it seems

[dense heart]

Yeah like our cluster is nearly off - only island is alive.

[sharp vessel]

The only server is can launch is Club ARK, see the interest behind this huh ? xD

[compact forge]

ASA has really changed the meaning something to be interesting 😄 Some same problem than was in ASE but so many new things 😄

[grizzled meteor]

anyone else have issues with the latest update?

servers seem to crash after restart

[sharp vessel]

Same bro

Like 10-15 of us

[grizzled meteor]

gg

[opaque tulip]

Ok i changed maps and now they running.

• i have now island, exe and center
• i think there is any RAM management issue:
  • if u start all servers at the same time oder to fast after another, second and third server crash
  • try to start on server, wait 10-15 minutes (until RAM of current server has calmed down)
  • and then start another one.

[grizzled meteor]

ill double check

[sharp vessel]

Tried the option of low starting, doesn't work on my sidr

[modern cipher]

i wish that was the fix, but even if i start up one map ( i tested scorched earth ), server has over 90gb of ram available, it's an issue with the patch they released and not out of memory(at least in my case)

[sharp vessel]

Have 128GB available here, same as you

[grizzled meteor]

its not the ram

[compact forge]

My other servers are running fine. Only Astraeos does not work. So, no low start fix for me 😦

[grizzled meteor]

Island, Center, Aberration and ClubARK seem to work... you guys also have issues with Extinction and Scorched?

[compact forge]

My Extinction and SE are working fine 😄

[modern cipher]

my island and extinction are running, my aberration, SE, and center are down

[opaque tulip]

abe and astraeos not working for me

[sharp vessel]

All my maps are down for me

[grizzled meteor]

mysterious

[compact forge]

it is the way of ARK 😄

[pearl token]

Is there any way we can report this problem?

[modern cipher]

only other thing to do is start posting on the forums

[candid veldt]

Only Island, Aberration and Extinction work for me. Judging the stacktrace it seems to have something to do with a dropped item, and could cause a crash on any map.

[modern cipher]

I used to be able to message Dollie, but she disabled being messaged anymore lol

[sharp vessel]

Can understand her lmao, poor Dollie with maybe 1m messages...

[opaque tulip]

befor the update my servers where empty...

[grizzled meteor]

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000060

[ionic field]

ArkAscendedServer.exe!UAntiDupeTransactionLog::ShouldDeleteTypeOnLoad() all servers - delete / wipe let it make the save file. BET it will start.

so, Unofficial like us gotta wait for the next patch - ⏲️

[grizzled meteor]

I'm feeling wildcarded again

[candid veldt]

Could be anything. Not sure if it's a player dropped item...

[sharp vessel]

That's worst than being rickrolled...

[ionic field]

No Purple Rain !

[grizzled meteor]

yellow rain..

ewwww....

yellow snow

mhm

Chicken 🐔 Banana 🍌 HEY !

[grizzled meteor]

@Studio Wildcard - need patchie.. dedicated servers broken

[indigo blade]

patchie incoming soon ™️

[sharp vessel]

That's the kind of messages I really love to see !
Can we hug you ?!

[indigo blade]

hugs as compensation is good

[sharp vessel]

🫂

[hidden minnow]

It's my fault guys! I am so sorry! I leave for vacation in 8 hours so obviously Ark has to catch fire

[sharp vessel]

Scheduled explosion ?!

[hidden minnow]

Yes because I thought I could get a break and go see the guys from Neebs Gaming....how dare I!

[sharp vessel]

You clearly tried to make a lot of players to touch grass, what a shame !

[rain plank]

That makes sense now... it's always, somehow, Neebs' fault

[hidden minnow]

Always

[agile stone]

-crunch Crunch crunch- Mmmmm Doritos! Thank God for the incoming patch, I left my darn Wyvern sitting on the Island on our cluster at of all bad places, green obelisk where the raptors like to vacation. 😄

[tepid berry]

Figures. I usually wait, let the servers fall behind a little bit - and today I'm like - ho! It's been 2-3 minor patches, I should roll everything forward! And somehow my ass gets bit again >_>

[agile stone]

lilpanda said a little while ago another patch was incoming, so expecting we'll see a fix relatively soon.

Not gonna lie tho, while I'm a little annoyed about the broken servers for unofficial, I'm already mentally trying to prepare for 5.5 optimization patch.. our cluster runs about 26 mods and after looking through the list, 80% of them are gonna have to have some major reworks done to them, my stomach is flippin' just thinking about it lol.

[tepid berry]

Yikes. That's a hell of a lot of mods. I had 9 and thought we were going overboard...

[sharp vessel]

Bro... I have 34 mods....

[agile stone]

I've got a wife who loves cosmetic mods, pretty building structures, etc. And of course most of our community are real life friends, and of course their wives also like all that pretty stuff so.... here we are 😄

[sharp vessel]

Don't speak to me that your stomach hurts.. My side, it's m'y stomach, my ass, my legs and my head... Oh wait, no, that's maybe the monster I drank

[tepid berry]

Isn't there a cosmetic gun mod that basically adds almost every plant and feature in the game? Paired with client-side skins...that many on the server side just seems a nightmare to handle. Almost every patch something would break :[

[hidden minnow]

Lord what list? We have 21 and now I'm more scared than I was

[agile stone]

Nah, most of the time nothing really breaks, short of the CS stuff, and even then Cyber has been real good about keeping things up to date, what you really have to worry about with that many mods is that the mod authors didn't just slap it up on Curseforge then walk away. Replacing mods with abandoned authors sucks.

[rain plank]

51 here...

[tepid berry]

Y'all wild.

[hidden minnow]

Yeah we are really careful to make sure it's still a supported mod. Also, yes Cyber is amazing about keeping his mod updated

[tepid berry]

I try to stay away from his stuff. It interacts with other mods in ways that are strange.

[hidden minnow]

My biggest fears are CS, ASR and Klingers just going full borked

[agile stone]

^^^ this for sure, we run all of those as well.. I'll be making sure I run full backups prior to that patch for sure lol

[tepid berry]

We removed Klingers after an update caused servers to crash loop

[rain plank]

CS and Dino Depot are my biggest concerns, everything else I can live without or easily replace

[tepid berry]

All of Klingers stuff is basically available as skins now anyhow.

[hidden minnow]

We are currently trying to phase out Klingers. We use the additional storage and I am tired of the tube lights causing insane lag

[agile stone]

Dino Depot had some interesting hiccups last big patch as well, yeah.. what I ended up doing is throwing up a test server promptly named "Unity Apocalypse Server" and let our players transfer over and convert everything back into cryopods and store them freely in cryofridges until after the fixes went into place. 😄

[tepid berry]

Yeah, it was a shader issue with Klingers that caused our servers to be unable to start for a week until he updated. I just can't have that happen.

I've never had an issue with Super Cryo Storage

[hidden minnow]

Yeah I remember that. I shouldnt have left it

[tepid berry]

WAY more polished than Dino depot
